Photographers should always be aware that their camera at a distance looks like a weapon. Its sad but he ain't the first.

Re: Swedish Photographer Shot and Killed [Somalia]

Unfortunately today 'journalist' also means 'target' to both private thugs and government forces alike. Killing the unarmed who seek to expose reality is the hallmark of the ignorant and cowardly.
